Nimue's page of Mythology

and whatever else I happen to feel like.

 

 

Boredom and windows movie maker are a terrible combination.

 

     Hello, all. I’m glad you decided to come visit my little corner of the web. This is just another aimless site, put together by a person who has way the hell too much time on their hands. The main reason for the site, I suppose is this little hobby of mine, a large table of gods and goddesses from various places and times throughout the world. It contains both the well known and the obscure from as many cultures as I have been able to gather. I’ve worked on this for about three years now, not rabidly, just off and on, whenever I’m bored. Some of my friends have pointed out that this might be useful to some people. Right now I have the name or names of the god or goddess, where they come from and their domain (or what they are the god of). I’m getting ready to consider adding another column to this, but I’m not sure exactly what. Uhm, if you have suggestions, feel free to mail me and say something. There are a few mistakes in spelling and grammar probably. This is something that is always under construction, and I try to construct it as neatly as possible, but that can be difficult.

      Now, if you have found there is some sort of inaccuracy in the table then, good for you. Again, this is a work in progress, there are bound to be mistakes as I construct it. This is a kind of iffy subject; many of the old gods were changed to keep pace with the cultures that they presided over, so there is a lot of conflicting information about them floating around. It’s hard to pick out the bits that are right. One book will list a deity as a male, other as female, some speculate that two different gods are the same, others say they are totally different. As a deity moves from one civilization to another they keep a name and assume a different function or vice versa. I just try to give the information as the majority of my sources provide it. If you really feel the need to comment because I’ve made some sort of glaring error, don’t expect me to change the table just on your say so, you should list some sort of source.

  For those of you who are not used to the excel program, which is the format I have left it in, for the sake of easy updating, there are tabs shown at the bottom of the screen, labeled “god” and “goddess”, just click to go between them.

  Along with the table is a list of what is contained within the table for easy reference, and last is a bibliography for anyone who thinks I’m making this stuff up. So

Bibliography

 

 

     Okay, I also write a bit. I have nothing professional grade, it's just a hobby, but since I don't think I will be actually published, I will put my poems and things here too, for everyone to enjoy. If enjoy is the term you want to use. The thing is even if my writing sucks, THESE ARE STILL MINE! Do NOT take them. In the words of my dear Justin, "a curse on your castle, may a wild goat come into your house and eat all your wild berries then turn you into the IRS for tax evasion," if you should steal the things. Don't think that I can't back it up, I got a goat and connections in the FBI... Justin also urges me to "promise hellfire and the burning and the brimstones and smiting by the Old Testament Nimue if anyone should ever consider stealing it." Really, that pretty well covers it, so I feel no need to add anything of my own.

Poems, sort of

 

 

Here are some links to places I like to go, just in case you get bored here.

 

The Graphics Pirate.

This is where I got most of the pictures on this site. Albeit, the pirate stole them from a bunch of people, but she at least says she stole them, and you can go there and check out the sites that she took the stuff from. Now I have stolen them from her. See? The universe evens stuff out.

 

Bored.com

This is where you go when you are bored, obviously. I like it because the name is easy to remember. There is an amusing mish mash of stuff here.

 

Neopets

this is a nifty site where you can get a pet. you play games and things to buy it food and toys and you can make them battle each other and stuff. Here's mine, his name is Myrddin Blueaura, unless I've ignored him for too long and he's dead. I don't know, it's a little too cute sometimes, but it's fun. 

 

 

 

    Okay so, that’s all for now I might add more things later, likely I will. In the meantime you can mail me at nimue_the_mighty@yahoo.com.
